A referendum is being prepared in Gliwice. The city's president may lose his position

A petition to hold a referendum for the removal of Katarzyna Kuczyńska-Budka as the president of Gliwice has gathered over 18,000 signatures. This exceeds the required 12,700 signatures from eligible voters. The petitioners criticize her administration for poor city development, particularly the abandonment of a planned municipal hospital project. They also raise concerns about financial management and unmet campaign promises. Kuczyńska-Budka, affiliated with the Civic Coalition, is the first female president of Gliwice and has a background in communication and journalism. The final decision on the petition's validity will be made by the electoral commissioner after verifying the signatures.
